Given:


\begin{gathered} f(1)=10 \\ f(n)=2.2\text{ .f\lparen n-1\rparen, for n=2,3,4......} \end{gathered}

Required:

Create the first five terms of the sequence defined by the given function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term of the sequence f(1) = 10

Second term


\begin{gathered} f(2)=2.2\text{ f\lparen2-1\rparen} \\ f(2)\text{ = 2.2 f\lparen1\rparen} \\ f(2)=2.2(10) \\ f(2)=22 \end{gathered}

The second term is f(2) = 22

Third term


\begin{gathered} f(3)=2.2\text{ f\lparen3-1\rparen} \\ f(3)=2.2\text{ f\lparen2\rparen} \\ f(3)=2.2\text{ \lparen22\rparen} \\ f(3)=48.4 \end{gathered}

The third term is f(3) = 48.4

Fourth term


\begin{gathered} f(4)=2.2\text{ f\lparen4-1\rparen} \\ f(4)=2.2\text{ f\lparen3\rparen} \\ f(4)=2.2\text{ \lparen48.4\rparen} \\ f(4)=106.48 \end{gathered}

The fourth term is f(4) = 106.48

Fifth term


\begin{gathered} f(5)=2.2\text{ f\lparen5-1\rparen} \\ f(5)=2.2\text{ f\lparen4\rparen} \\ f(5)=2.2\text{ \lparen106.48\rparen} \\ f(5)=234.256 \end{gathered}

The fifth term is f(5) = 234.256

Final Answer:


\begin{gathered} f(1)=10 \\ f(2)=22 \\ f(3)=48.4 \\ f(4)=106.48 \\ f(5)=234.256 \end{gathered}
